PREVIEW: The Chicago Bulls arrive at this matchup undefeated at 4-0 and sitting atop the Eastern Conference standings, showcasing a defensive identity that ranks first in few shots allowed attacking the rim. The Bulls also rank third in passing efficiency while maintaining a high-frequency attacking rim approach, though they struggle with turnovers at 27th in the league. Rookie Matas Buzelis has emerged as a breakout star with 27 points in their latest win, complemented by Josh Giddey's near triple-double performance and veteran Nikola Vucevic's steady two-way contributions. Their defensive scheme limits three-point opportunities at the highest rate in the NBA, holding opponents to just 29.9 percent from distance. The Knicks face their own challenges under first-year head coach Mike Brown, as the team remains inconsistent while adapting to a new system that emphasizes deeper rotations. New York ranks first defensively in limiting rim attacks but ranks last in post-up frequency while attempting three-pointers at the third-highest rate in the league. After opening with back-to-back losses, New York's struggles were amplified by poor performances from Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby, who combined to shoot just five-for-23 despite Jalen Brunson's 36-point effort. With a full roster available heading into this contest, the Knicks will look to prove they can compete on the road against Chicago's surprising early-season run.
